Meet PHOEBE ROSE our social butterfly. She is a 9 yr old, 10 lb, Chihuahua.  

Phoebe is very friendly and loves being with all kinds of people; kids, adults, new friends...  She is housebroken  and on a diuretic for her heart, so drinking lots of water so goes outside often. She does like to chase squirrels so being outside in a fenced in yard is her dream.

She is diagnosed with stage 4 heart murmur and takes medication, but it DOES NOT SLOW HER DOWN!    However, with this heart, she IS NOT SPAYED and can be adopted out 'unaltered' due to medical condition.  Her Medication is about $75 each month.

She'll sit on your lap or lay on the sofa dog bed with blankets.

She is also a TALKER and would love to tell you all about her life, loves and desire!

She LOVES to play (see videos) with dogs her own size. 

Phoebe's perfect family will be home a lot, have another little dog to play with in a fenced yard where she can explore, AND give her the best years of her life!
